A gangster from Glasgow has been jailed today for nearly 10 years. The 46-year-old, who was part of one of Scotland’s most prolific organised crime groups, was found hiding in Brazil and was brought back to Scotland to face justice. Read more here:
In June 2020, White was arrested in Fortaleza, Brazil, during a joint operation with the Brazilian Federal Police as part of Operation Escalade – the Police Scotland investigation into one of the country's top-tier and most prolific serious organised crime groups.
“COPFS is committed to collaborating with international justice partners. The extradition of White shows that such close working relationships between foreign authorities ensures that justice can be served.” “The Crown will continue working with the police and other agencies as a member of Scotland’s Serious and OrganisedTaskforce to ensure that these crimes are detected and those responsible prosecuted using all measures at our disposal.
Since its inception in 2014, Operation Escalade has now seen almost 50 people convicted for being involved in serious organised crime.
